8. ABC company • ABC stands to spread the joy of entertainment across America. It spread news and gossip from across the globe to our television & to our computers. • Disney might be the parent company because there is a lot of commercials of disney during shows and that is usually where people go for vacation like on Extreme Makeover Home Edition and AFV. There is probably no conflict.
